Been doing some thinking, and, I have a few things I want to say to you. You may not know me very well–or at all–but that’s okay. This is still for you.

Imagine we’re sitting near the fireplace. Or on a porch swing. Or on a branch of a tree we just climbed. We’re sipping some lemonade. Or cider or something. And just talking like old chums.

Alright, ya ready? Here we go 🙂

You are beautiful. Right now. You. Are. Stunning. Breathtaking.

It is so good that you are alive right now. You have a purpose. Your life is meaningful and the Lord has so many incredible plans for you. You were made for amazing things! I am so glad you’re here.

You’re smart and funny and really interesting. Your sense of humor is great! You are so enjoyable. You are a delight to be around. And your smile is like sunshine–it lights up the room. Your smile and laugh are contagious. You make others smile.

You are brave. Even when things get tough, you face your challenges head on. You rise to the occasion. You are bold and courageous and you can get through this. The Lord is faithful and good to you. You are one of His favorites! He empowers and strengthens you.

You are not alone. You are loved and treasured. You are worthwhile and your heart is so precious.

You are worth knowing. You are worth spending time with and listening to. You are worth fighting for. You are worth taking care of. You are a gem, and worth treating yourself that way.

It is so good that you are you. The world would be a very different place if you weren’t here.
